    Restarting WW and Minimins!

    I am indeed the same Silence... the one and only. lol. A hell of a lot has happened in the time I've been away - but I'm bouncing back and getting myself back on track. One tiny step at a time. And re-joining Minis was one of those steps.

    Restarting WW and Minimins!

    Hey! I've been a member of minis for aaages, but stopped coming on when I fell off the proverbial wagon last time. I've been doing WW for the past few months and have had a pretty rubbish couple of weeks. So I decided it's time for a restart - starting back on the plan and starting to use the...

    Milk.. Myth?

    I don't know about milk blocking fat... but milk is actually really good for you... the protein and fat in it help you to feel fuller, it contains a lot of vitamins and minerals in itself, and helps your body to absorb the other vitamins in the food you eat. It's well worth including some milk...

    Its Happened Again..

    I'm restarting on WW tomorrow, after a good few weeks off... it's been a stressful two weeks and I fell back into the habit of comfort eating. I gained about half a stone :( I'm determined to get back on track tomorrow!!! Come on! You can do it!!!

    Evenings are evil :(

    I'm the same. Evenings are terrible. I'm so good throughout the day and then I wind up over-eating on an evening. It's a really bad habit - but that's what it is... a habit. One a lot of us have to break! You're definitely not alone on this one! Maybe try to keep yourself busy on an evening...

    Worried

    So I've had a chat with my sister today and after going round in circles, it's amounted to nothing.... She knows she's undereating, she's just got no appetite, it's hard to eat doing the placement she's doing, she's trying to sort it out and at least she's eating something. There's no need to...

    Worried

    I don't know whether I'm overreacting, but it just seems that whenever I talk to her she's not eaten anything. She's not doing WW with a group, she's just doing it online and her friends are all going home - it's the end of semester, but she's still on placement (she's a student nurse so she has...

    Worried

    I've told her about the starvation mode thing and I've asked her to go to the Drs but she won't listen. She just keeps saying she's fine. I've offered to go on a diet with her, well tbh we're both following WW at the moment. The difference is that I've weighed myself and know how many points to...

    Worried

    Hi, I'm really worried about my sister. She's overweight and is trying to lose weight, but she's not eating very much at all... today, for example, all she's eaten is a yoghurt and an apple and she'll probably be having a WW ready meal for her tea. It's been going on for a while, but she refuses...

    How do i stop binge eating??

    It's true, we are, to some extent, exploited by food companies - our bodies prefer high sugar, high fat foods because they're easier to digest and that's a kickback from our hunter-gatherer days. It's not an excuse however. At the end of the day we choose to eat these foods, no one is forcing...

Saying that, I do cook healthy food most of the...

    We wanna do it!

    The general idea on any diet is lower the calories and preferably increase calorie expenditure... so eat less and exercise more. It sounds like the two of you are making some very positive changes in your lives! If I were to give you any advice, I'd say try to cook more instead of relying on...

    Great thread Peachy! I've spent quite some time trying to get to the bottom of my emotional eating.

    How do i stop binge eating??

    I'm a binge eater too... I overeat massively and sometimes can't stop even though I feel sick. I think the key thing for stopping bingeing is to break the habit. I don't know about any of you, but I binge at more or less the same time every day - the cravings start at 4:30 when I get out of...

    I have a set weigh in day every week (Friday) and my weight is what it is.

    I was wondering whether it would be worth making a weekend of it or not. I'll most probably be staying over Saturday night, but it's only an hour on the train from Sheffield (where I work) so I was thinking about maybe going down Friday night if other people are too.

    Another thing you could try, which I do when I'm having a tough time, is write a "credit list". At the end of the day make a list of all the good and strong things you've done today and give yourself credit for them, congratulate yourself. (See this thread for more details.) it will drive Vlad...

    Hi Crystalfaery. Welcome to Minimins and to the Xenical forum! This site is fab for support and encouragement - use it. That's my tip! I've been around for almost a year and I could not have got to where I am without it! We're around if you do need any help, advice or support and do let us know...

    One other thing to do is to take a looksee at what other people have achieved. There's a screensaver on here with before and after pictures of people who have succeeded. It's well worth a look because it's so inspirational!

    If it's any consolation I know exactly how you feel and I think you'll find a lot of people on here do. There are a lot of us for whom weight loss is a long and arduous journey (you might benefit from looking in the forums WeMitts, Century Club and Bring Your Head Inside, Your Body Will Follow)...

    About a week ago maybe - we were joking about there being three Gems in the Friday girls - you (gemstone), me (silence) and gemma1986. We decided to call you "gem", me "silence" and gemma "gemma", so as not to get too confused. Did that make sense?

    Definitely definitely go with Piink! She's a wise lass!!! Celeb Slim is probably brilliant for losing ten pounds for a hol or whatever, but it's not a long term solution. Learning to eat healthily is. Good luck!!!

    Yeah, I'd take the tablets with me and take them as much as possible. I'd possibly avoid taking them in any guaranteed orange oil incidents - wouldn't want to be spending half my holiday on the loo! Have a super dooper holiday!!!

    So are you looking at staying Saturday night? I think since it's so far in the future I can build the cost of a night in a hotel into the budget. :) Do let us know when you're booked and all confirmed Clarri. Have a nice day everyone!

    I could be convinced to stay, maybe the Saturday night. I should think I'll be working on the Friday. Ooooo I'm excited!

    Ok, so, so far we're looking at Brum on Saturday 10th October? That right?
  202. S

    FRIDAY GIRLS

    She can either fly to Birmingham or East Midlands... which is near Derby. Brum and Derby are about an hour away from each other. Obviously we'll have to see when's good for Clarri and everyone else. But I imagine the flights are pretty regular.

    Thanks for asking :) Things are a little better. Obviously it's the weekend and I'm a little more free to eat when I want to eat (when I'm hungry) rather than being restricted to specific meal times. I'm trying to be more positive in general, which is always helpful and have decided to work...
